WHATS ON THE MENU?

Run the gauntlet on the very tracks that have been used
to develop and test the worlds
best all terrain vehicles for 40 years.

Land Rover’s uncompromising tracks at Eastnor Castle
have been the proving ground for these ultimate vehicles
for a generation. MUD RUNNER CLASSIC, opens these tracks
to intrepid athletes with the passion for a challenge.

7ish arduous country miles around the Eastnor Estate using the same tracks on which Land Rovers have been tested and developed.

Mud Runner is over a variety of terrain and conditions from rolling grassland (well a little bit anyway) to mud, wet mud and sticky mud. The course includes hills, waterfilled pits, muddy banks and did we mention mud. You will get very wet! The course will be marked and we will let you know the halfway point, other than that it’s 7ish miles in length and brilliant fun.

Time

Mud Runner CLASSIC will start at 11.00am. There will be a series of race waves with the first starting at 11am, followed by 1 every 5 minutes until approx. 11:30am. You can decide which wave you want to run in. Your timing chip will record your time when you cross the Start and Finish so don’t worry if you are in the second, third or last wave it won’t affect your time!

Dependent on how confident you are with the wonders of the British transport system you will want to allow yourself plenty of time to get to the site, sort your kit out, make frequent trips to the toilet, retie your laces and go through your absurd (they are not cute or lucky) pre-race rituals before getting to the start.

Changing

There is a small changing area. Most people arrive in their running clothes and bring a warm, dry change of clothes to get into afterwards.

Time & Results

There will be a race clock at the finish line. Results will appear at www.mudrunner.co.uk on Monday 19th October.

Race Photography

Race pictures will be available to view and purchase after the event, as well as the slightly blurry photos your own guests and relatives are welcome to take.

first Aid

Medical support will be present on the course and at the finish. You should be relatively fit and have no known medical conditions which may affect your taking part. Any known medical conditions or allergies must be provided on your entry form to be shared with the event medical team.

Toilets

Toilet facilities are available at the start and finish. The Eastnor Estate is a wonderfully well maintained estate with SSSI areas, so please be respectful of this. It is definitely not a 5,000 acre toilet or rubbish tip so please don’t treat it as such.

Water

One drinks station will be at about the halfway point and another at the finish. You might want to bring your own water to consume beforehand (or whatever electrolyte laden snake oil gives you that awesome cutting edge above your nearest rival).

Prizes

The first men and first 5 women across the line will be awarded prizes on the day at the venue. There will also be awards for the first male and female veterans by age groups. Marshalls award for the most amusing, enthusiastic or hardest working participant(s).
